I'm on Linux as well, so that's probably not it. But I just checked the release notes, and it does say:

This feature is part of a progressive roll out.

What is a progressive roll out? Certain new Firefox features are released gradually. This means some users will see the feature before everyone does. This approach helps to get early feedback to catch bugs and improve behavior quickly, meaning more Firefox users overall have a better experience.

So hopefully you'll get it soon!

Weird, and this is with the separate search bar disabled? If I type mario, then press Enter, then DuckDuckGo opens with the search, and my address bar still says mario, and I can still change the search engine.

You might want to look for this option under "Search" in the settings:

Show search terms in the address bar on results pages

My PT referred me to a chiropractor colleague of his, back when I didn't know what a chiropractor was...

I'm not sure how you'd do it through clicking, but I can press Esc to close the suggestions, and then Esc again to get the original URL. So instead of my usual Ctrl+L -> Ctrl+C, it's now Ctrl+L -> Esc -> Esc -> Ctrl+C.

That's what used to happen, but with this version, if you type a word and search something, and you'll still see the search terms in the address bar. (Although you can disable it if you don't like it.)

Heh, that seems exactly what the new search term persistence feature enables with the unified address bar.

In settings, the first checkbox under "Search" is "Show search terms in the address bar on results pages", so it should be relatively easy to disable if you really don't like it. I'm going to try to see if I can get used to it first though.

Oh je bent niet de enige die het jammer vindt, maar misschien wel in de minderheid als je vindt dat de nadelen niet opwegen tegen de voordelen. Ik had het ook graag gehouden, maar helaas niet tegen de huidige kosten.

And even then far from all of them.

Ik denk dat je beter deze had kunnen posten.

So I guess the question is... Next time someone (who?) is looking for an easy way to find software projects - will they use this portal? Will they be able to even find it, and if they do, will it help them find the software they need? Will it prevent people from re-implementing software, and if it does, will it move them to support an existing project, or just not do anything at all?

Sorry, I guess that's actually a bunch of questions :P But I'm not optimistic about the answers to them, and then my automatic next question is: I wonder how much it has cost to build this?

This looks like the classic type of EU portal of which I can only wonder... Who will actually use this?
